The Oxford Round Table Symposiums
and
The Education Law Association
are offering a collaborative session:
Education Law | Finance | Policy
14-17 July 2025
In collaboration with the Education Law Association, the Oxford Round Table Symposiums will host a Symposium on Education Law, Policy and Finance at the University of Oxford in July 2025. This Symposium brings together an assembly of scholars, practitioners, and policymakers from across the world to engage in substantive dialogue on the evolving intersection of law, policy, and finance in both K–12 and higher education sectors. This symposium offers a uniquely immersive academic experience. Participants have the rare opportunity to live, dine, and engage as Oxford scholars—residing in college accommodations, dining in centuries old halls, and participating in sessions within one of the world’s most revered academic institutions.
Our featured speaker will be Councillor Elizabeth W. Kangethe. Cllr Dr. Elizabeth W. Kangethe is a distinguished educator who has served as a Councillor in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham since 2010. She made history as the borough's first Mayor of Kenyan origin and currently holds the position of Cabinet Member for Educational Attainment and School Improvement. She also serves as Vice President of the London Mayors’ Association, and we are honored to welcome her as a keynote speaker for what promises to be an insightful and inspiring presentation.
